FINAL RULES PACK

Foodstuffs

Lunch on both days is included with your tournament

ticket. Typically our caterer prepares toasted paninis,

jacket potatoes with a chilli, hot pots, and other things

along those lines. If you have any special dietary

requirements please let us know.

Where to stay

Weve done the hard work for you and scouted out

the local hotels. Flip to the last page of this rules pack

for our Recommended Accommodation.

Other Happenings

In addition to the Warhammer tournament itself, the

venue will be open on the Friday and Saturday nights

for people to play pick-up games. On Saturday night

there will also be a goodly number of amiable folkhanging aboot and playing board and card games, so

please feel free to stick around and join in!

Terrain

All of the terrain for the will be provided by the

organisers; all you have to do is turn up and play!

There will be at least 6 pieces of medium sized terrain

on each table, which will be laid out beforehand and

should not be moved during the tournament. If at any

point you feel a table doesnt look quite right let us

know and we will reorganise it. Its worth mentioningthat all forests will be counted as mysterious terrain

and should be rolled for by the players when entering

them.

List Submission

At Tempest events, there is no need for you to submit

a list before the tournament. However, it is imperative

that you bring with you two legible copies of your

army list one for us to hang onto, and one to have

on hand during your games. All army lists will be

checked for legality during the first round by the

tournament organisers. If your list is found to be

illegal you will forfeit any and all gaming points you

have scored up to that stage.

A Note On Painting

At Tempest events, we expect every participants

army to be painted to at least a tabletop standard

(think of an army you might see in a GW store if still

unsure please ask). This means every model is

painted, every base is based, every movement tray ispresent. Upon presentation of their fully painted

army, each player will be awarded one MILLION

tournament points.

Fancy a drink and a game of cards? Lergy the Lerker will be

hosting a poker game on Saturday night, feel free to join in!

Included with your ticket are 5 custom Unseen Lerker dice.

Not only are they lucky, but theres a new colour for each

event so you can collect the whole set!


4/9

FINAL RULES PACK

Scenarios & Winning Your GamesThe tournament consists of 6 games, all using the Battleline scenario.

After each game add up Victory Points with your opponent as normal, remembering to add any bonuses for

generals, captured standards, scenario objectives etc. You need at least 300VPs more than your opponent to score a

Win. If the difference is 299VPs or less you have scored a Draw.Tournament points are awarded as follows:

Win 30pts Draw 10pts Loss 1pt

The idea behind this 30/10/1 system is to encourage people to constantly play for the win. Essentially, it is more

beneficial to risk it and win one game and lose two (32pts total) than it is to simply draw three (30pts total).

But wait, theres more!

In addition to the standard 30/10/1 game result, there are an additional +10 bonus points available to each player

depending on whether or not they complete their Secret Mission (regardless of whether or not their opponentcompletes theirs). This is the part where you go ooooooh!. At the start of the tournament you will be given six

Secret Mission cards. Its compulsory for you to use one in each game select one before deployment and lay it

facedown on the table, then bring it up with your results sheet at the end of the round. See the mission details

below:

Got Wood? +10 TPs

To achieve this mission, you must

control more forests at the end of

the game than your opponent. To

control a forest you must simply

have more units in the forest than

your opponent. Characters and

single models never count towards

controlling or contesting this

objective.

If there are no forests on the table,

wed kindly suggest that you have

played the incorrect mission card!

Claim the High Ground +10 TPs


control more hills at the end of the

game than your opponent. To

control a hill you must simply have

more units on the hill than your

opponent. Characters and single

models never count towards

controlling or contesting this

objective.

If there are no hills on the table, wed

kindly suggest that you have played

the incorrect mission card!

Kill The Shiny Ones +10 TPs


destroy at least 50% of your

opponents combined Special and

Rare units (rounding up in the case

of an odd number). Eg, if your

opponent has 5 Special units and 2

Rare units (7 total) you must destroy

any 4 of them to achieve your

objective. The means and method of

their demise are entirely up to you!

Concentrate All Firepower On The

Super Star Destroyer +10 TPs


destroy your opponents most

expensive unit. If its not obvious

which unit this is you may ask, and

they must tell you, though they are

not obliged to reveal any magic

items the unit contains. The location

of characters has no effect on which

is the most expensive unit.

Up The Jaxxie +10 TPs


finish the game with 2 units at least

partially in your opponents

deployment zone. Characters, fast

cavalry, scouts and flyers never

count towards achieving this

objective.

Cut Off The Head! +10 TPs

To achieve this mission, you must kill

your opponents general. That is all!

Go get em, tiger!


5/9

FINAL RULES PACK

The Draw

All the rounds after the first will be seeded using the

Swiss Chess system. PLEASE NOTE that for the first

time we will not be posting the draw online in

advance. There are no grudge matches at this event.

At the beginning of each round, please take 5 minutes

to introduce yourself to your new opponent and

discuss your army and its properties. There is no need

to divulge magic items or any hidden information, but

rules.

SELECTING YOUR ARMY All armies will be 2600 points. Ignore the percentage guidelines in the Warhammer rulebook, and instead use the

following points distribution table when writing your army list:

Lords & Heroes (combined total): 750pts maximum

Core: 750pts minimum

Special: 1000pts maximum

Rare: 500pts maximum

Chosen MenWithin each army-specific section below is a short list of units referred to as

Chosen Men. When taken in sizes of 10 or more models these Chosen Men

units receive a complimentary free command group (standard bearer, musician

and champion equivalent) where available. This upgrade is not compulsory and

not all elements of the command must be taken to qualify indiIVdual upgrades

are also free.

*If a different number (eg, 5+) is shown in brackets beside the unit that is the

minimum size needed for free command options this overrides the usual

minimum of 10 models given above.

Check it out, girls

thanks to the crazy

rules pack we got a

free command!

monsters do not count towards the duplication of Rare

choices (ie, you could have two Giants in your army).

House Rulings

Below are a couple of teensy weensy rules changes that will be in effect at Tempest 8, implemented with the

intention of making the games flow smoother, more logically and more enjoyably for everyone involved.

When both casting and dispelling spells, wizards do not add their magic levels to the dice score rolled Whenever a unit reforms it must endeavour to bring all characters to its front rank. In close combat, you may always elect to attack rank and file models even if you are only in base contact

with characters and command models.

A unit may not enter a building in any turn which it marches or reforms.

Any and all buildings have a maximum capacity of 20 models, regardless of the size or number of floors.Units larger than this may not enter them, though they may assault them as normal.

Units and characters that are fleeing at the end of the game, or have been reduced to equal or below 25%of their starting wounds (Lord level characters need only be reduced to 1 wound remaining) give away halfof their total 8ctory points, not including bonuses

Victory points are awarded separately for characters and their mounts All area terrain (including forests, water features, fields, and rocky areas, but NOT hills or open ground)

should be treated as Dangerous Terrain and require tests for all units when entered. The only times unitsdo not take tests are if they are Ethereal, making a normal move (ie, not marching, fleeing, etc.),reforming, or have the appropriate Strider special rule.

Before the game, Wood Elf players are allowed to decide which kind of mysterious wood each forest ontheir table is (each forest may be a different type). It may be worth writing down next to each piece toavoid forgetting. In the case of Wood Elves vs Wood Elves each player may choose what kind their free

wood is, and the rest remains mysterious as normal. Finally, a fun one. Units with the Thunderstomp special rule are allowed to perform a single Stomp against

anything larger than infantry but smaller than themselves. Kick em in the face!
